Diatec Trentino celebrating their win at last year's Club World Championship in Doha, Qatar. The team will be looking for their fifth title at this year's competition.

Lausanne, Switzerland, October 10, 2013 - Diatec
Trentino have shown themselves to be in fine form in the lead up to the FIVB
2013 Club World Championship, after winning this year’s Del Monte Super Cup against
rivals Cucine Lube Banca Marche Macerata.

Trentino managed to turn the tables on Macerata
after suffering a loss to them in last year’s gold medal match of the Del Monte
Super Cup. But victory was even sweeter
this time around as Trentino secured its second title in the history of the Del
Monte Super Cup – their first being in 2011 when they beat Bre Banca Lannutti
Cueo for the top prize - in front of an enthusiastic home crowd.

The win is a feather in the cap for Roberto
Serniotti who took over as the club’s coach from Radostin Stojchev
this season. And with a young team to lead, he had his work cut out for him. “We started at a disadvantage in all the sets,” said Serniotti, “but I
continued to tell my players to stand firm and not to let any point go. If you
play against Macerata is impossible to win if you're not willing to match them."

The mood was understandably
more subdued among the Marcerata players and their coach, Alberto Guiliani, who
admitted, "Losing is never a pleasure and for 3-0 no less.” “The players have been training together only for
a few days and I knew it would not be easy, but I was certainly hoping for something
better than what we did tonight.”

Trentino players are savouring
their win before they head off to Betim, Brazil to defend their title at the FIVB
Club World Championships scheduled to take place from October 15 to 20. “We’ll
think of the Club World Championship tomorrow morning – today we enjoy this
victory!” said Trentino’s Filippo Lanza.

The team beat Brazil’s Sada
Cruzeiro in last year’s tournament to take their fourth
title in the Championship.
